For PureCloud WFM (not PureConnect's Interaction Optimizer) the "Agent Schedule > View" permission governs whether or not a user can see their schedule. You could temporarily remove that permission until the agents have schedules.
If the notification you are referring to is informing the agent they are not scheduled for On Queue time, then another option is to temporarily disable that behavior in the management unit's configuration. I.e., the option to treat On Queue time worked by an agent outside of their scheduled shift as an adherence exception or not (default: on)
